Go Therefore and Make Disciples of All Nations: The Great Commission with Burk Parsons 

I understand the gospel texts in a way that Christ himself needs to give a mandate personally as he did with Paul. But I wonder on how many apostles this actually does apply. Many apparently only 'attended a course' and read something in the bible and now think they 'fulfill the 'great commission''... But I think there is more to it.

Missionaries are lazy. Even Apostle Paul supported himself. Lazy lazy people.

How do you know you’ve been called is it like a feeling your passion cause I don’t want to travel I want a career in science but I feel guilty

@@mariadonkova2759 Hi Maria, as Christians we are all called to spread the gospel. It is what a Disciple is. If we do truly believe in the message that is our Lord Jesus, then we must tell people the good news. But it doesn't mean we have to leave everything and go to another country to do it. For me, although I felt it in my spirit that it was something I needed to do, through prayer Jesus called me to do this. I left Australia 4 months ago now and have been travelling through Europe spreading the gospel. But we are all called to serve in different ways. Before I left I was working, going to the gym and living a normal life and was still spreading the message to anyone who wanted to listen. If you want to pursue a career you don't have to feel guilty for doing it, but never be ashamed of your faith and telling people about what Jesus has done for us. You can pursue your goals and still serve the Lord. I wish you all the very best and may God bless you with all that you do..

@@brandonjcollins1062 oh okay I meant that I just don’t want to leave my family and my school I’m only 16 I haven’t gone to college yet but I can share the gospel anywhere I just don’t want to go to africa

@@mariadonkova2759 yes 16 is very young so I can understand how you feel. What is it with Africe, why do you think you need to go there to spread the gospel?

@@brandonjcollins1062 because many Christian’s think everyone has to leave everything behind including family and go preach the gospel to far away nations

@@HearGodsWord The GC applies to the Church (as an institution), but not to every individual Christian.

@@joshuatheo1419 what makes up an institution? who makes that decision to follow that command?

If it wasn't for us then how would the world hear the gospel? The 11 disciples have been gone from this earth for a very long time.

John 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. John 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. _It appears by John 1:33 that Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit._ John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. _If we love Jesus and keep his commandments Jesus will pray for us._ _Jesus will pray that we be given the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter (which is the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit) note: John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost..._ _Everyone knows that when Jesus prays, things happen._

In Matthew 28:19 Jesus commands his disciples to go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. If you are one of His and are filled with His spirit it doesn't matter if you have some credential or not. A pastor doesn't have "more" of the spirit of Christ than any other believer. All they may have is more seminary training. So when the Lord is instructing us from His Word it is not for only those who went to seminary but for you and me, those who believe on Him. And his commandments are to those who love Him and want to share what He did for them to the world.

It appears some people might like to not show Jesus' teachings, because then it is harder for them to slip thnigs in.

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matthew 28:20 *Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.* Not only did Jesus instruct them to “teach all nations” Jesus foretold them he would be with them ... “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: *and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.* (Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: *and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.* Amen.) _This instruction given by Jesus has to happen. And why?_ _Because if this had failed to take place, then Jesus could not have been with them as they followed his command as he foretold them he would be with them._ _Which would make his foretelling false._ _Which would make him a false Messiah. A false prophet._ _In other words IF Jesus words in Matthew 28 failed to come true then he would not be, and he could not be the Messiah._

Matthew 28:18 ... All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, ... Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things *whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.*

_And just how long does this have to take place?_ _For just that day?_ _Week?_ _Year? No... _*_“unto the end of the world. Amen.”_* _If this failed to take place then Jesus could not be the Messiah. If their teachings are not for us now; Jesus could not be the Messiah. Their teachings are to go to Gentiles from that very moment “unto the end of the world. Amen”_ _If this is not true then Jesus could not be the Messiah._

It's for those that Christ authorizes to do so. That's more than an itchy feeling or "I read that in the bible, hence". The story of "Every Christian must" is a misunderstanding of what the text says... It becomes clearer with Eph.4:11. The part of being crucified with Christ and fruits of the spirit is key and mostly missing. It isn't enough to cultivate the Flesh in fact it becomes a problem over time.

@@metapolitikgedanken612 _Jesus' teachings given unto his disicples are to go to all Gentiles unto the end of the world._ Matthew 28:20 *Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.*
